re: #274 The Very Reverend Battleaxe of Knowledge

I suppose I could look it up, but…nah: I always thought that was a miscarriage because the power they were spying for was an ally. That’s what saved Klaus Fuchs. Is American law different from British law in that respect?

Was the Soviet Union an ally? I didn’t think so. In any event, they were definitely guilty as fuck (though that didn’t come out until after the fall of the Berlin Wall), but there is some debate on whether they deserved execution, and the trial itself was a bit of a legal clusterfuck.
